The short stories Of the OveyIan1 Month.
y are those perhaps the most distinct and
characteristic Of in any American periodical
They have less polish and philosophical sub.
tlety than the New England school, but deal
much in new picturesque aspects Of life, and
human nature in novel conditions. In the
April number, for instance, there are two
stories, both Of which, in very different phases,
deal with the contact of civilized and crude
American life upon the borders Of civilization:
ga Back Country Type" being . dramatic
and touching story, by Evelyn Ludlum "a
writer Of much picturesque and emotional
fosce>, Of human passion and pain among the
Pporer immigration class on the borders Of the
beautiful San Bernardine valley; and "That
Yankee Missionary story Of 1.-THE clash Of
the frontier and the philsnthropic spirit-as
embodied in man Of the John Brown type
upon the Indian frontier. A third one,
'Boum- Boum" from the French is a very
pretty and humane tale Of circus clown and
sick child.

FRExCM MORALS TWO HUNDRED
AND FIFTY YEARS AGO.

In an article entitled "a Great Politician"
in the April cosmetOlftsn, James Breek Per
kins, the author Of "Franee Under Ridhelier
and Mssarin, says:
Those who believe that times and morals
grow worse. and that our sins are as our
forefathersr and much more abundant, would
do well to study the social conditions Of pas;
ages. The seventeenth century was not one

Rets welded an extraordinary power, and
hlled his position as acting archbishop Of
the great Diocese Of Paris with success,
though his life was one Of avowed and un-
blushing proAigacy. He had no religious
belief; he gave his days to plotting and his
nights to intrigue; he went from the eelebra.

your nymphs." Then she continued that she

with an old woman who was move wicked

more foolish than the mother was bad.

Everybody is warned against the
dogs Of Worthington. Nearly every
body owns three or four and they are
allowed to run loose day and night;
They make night hideous and sleepless
